What else can I help you with?
Which inset map shows Alaskans size more accurately?
North America inset map
Are the shapes and sizes of the continents or the waterways shown more accurately on the Robinson projection map?
The Robinson projection map shows the shapes of the continents more accurately than the Mercator projection map, but both distort the sizes of landmasses, making areas near the poles appear larger than they are. Waterways and continents are more accurately depicted in size and shape on specialized maps like the Winkel Tripel projection, which aims to balance size and shape distortions.
Which map shows Alaska's size more accurately?
One of the three inset maps.
Which map projection accurately shows directions and shape but distorts distance and size?
Winkel-Tripel
Which projection show shape of landmasses most accurately?
There is no map that shows all of the land masses correct shapes. Cylindrical projections will show land masses accurately if they are close to the equator. Planar will show them correctly at the center of the map. And conic projection will show the poles accurately. If you really need perfect sizes, use a globe (: hope that helped!
WHAT IS Alaska is the largest state in area It is more than twice the size of Texas Which inset map shows Alaskas size more accurately?
Texas
What is a Robinson projection?
This map expands the water areas in order to keep size and shape of the continents accurate.
What type of map projection shows shapes and sizes great?
A topographic map.
What does a mercator map accurately show?
A Mercator map accurately shows the shape and direction of geographic features, making it useful for navigation. It also preserves angles and lines of longitude, making it suitable for sea travel. However, it distorts the size of land masses, particularly near the poles, leading to inaccuracies in their relative proportions.
Does the mercator projection more accurately show the size shape or the location of the continents on a map?
Mercator projection is used on ships. It shows the correct shapes of continents but the areas are distorted. The longitude lines are parallel which makes the areas at the poles seem larger than they actually are. Hope this helps.
Is it true or false that the Robinson projection shows the size of the continents accurately and the water areas are expanded to fill the extra space?
True. The Robinson projection is a compromise map projection that shows the size and shape of most continents relatively accurately, while also increasing the size of oceans to balance out the distortions of the land areas. However, no map projection can perfectly represent the three-dimensional Earth on a two-dimensional surface.
Why is mercator map still used today?
because it shows the directions accurately
